Sinclair on Federal Civil Practice is a two-volume treatise that is designed to give quick and authoritative answers for issues arising in federal civil litigation and to serve as a guide to the principal rules and tactical considerations guiding lawsuits in the federal courts. It starts with the layout of the court system and the nature of its key personnel, followed by jurisdiction and venue principles, and then turns to the sequence of litigation, from pleading to discovery, trial, and then appeal, while explaining the rationale of the rules, citing the key interpretive cases, and offering court-tested practice tips.

The new release includes the following updates:

• Chapter 1: The Federal Judicial System includes a new detailed discussion of alternative dispute resolution in federal civil practice.
• The Compendia of Recent Cases includes numerous recent federal cases, providing a quick resource for identifying relevant authorities (See the Compendia of Recent Cases Volume 1 and Volume 2).
